Villanueva, 27, shared that he has been doing extensive training for almost three months already. “Naga-jogging ko sayo sa buntag padulong sa Eden (I jog every morning going up to Eden)”, he added.

Coach Richard Dimaluan also added that he strictly monitors Villanueva’s training for him not to be overworked. With Villanueva’s work ethic, Dimaluan believes that they have a fighting chance against the Indonesian fighter.

As for Cabalquinto, he went jogging once a week for almost 13 kilometers in the last three months. “Basta ingun nila ang mga left-handed na mga boxer kay kusgan man (They always say that left-handed boxers are strong),” he added. He hopes that on June 28, he can prove that his left hand is strong.

Both Giovani Rota and Hendrick Balongasay are expected to arrive here in Davao by Wednesday.
